The Golden Grove

A Christian Guide of What to Believe, What to Do, and What to Desire by Jeremy Taylor

Sensory imagery and apt allusions to Biblical, patristic, and classical material, Jeremy Taylor ranks as one of the great spiritual classic authors termed the "Caroline Divines". This manual of daily prayers and litanies concerns what is to be believed, practiced and desired or prayed for, the prayers being specific to days and celebrations. He is the last of a "golden age" of preachers like John Donne and Lancelot Andrewes. Taylor’s focuses primarily on the believer’s spiritual growth and sanctification. Exquisitely pleasurable reading.
